WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT PLANT NUTRITION?
TESTING PREVIOUS IDEAS
Imagine the next experiment
We plant some plant seeds in a flowerpot. Before, we weighted the soil. We water the plant until it grows. When the plant is big enough and has got fruits, we extract it from the pot and we weigh the plant and the soil. The soil weighs more or less the same as when we began the experiment.

nutritious? Why?d) Which component is missing?

LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH LANGUAGE
And/But
• Snails and spiders are invertebrates. Snails have a shell but spiders do not.
• Plant cells have got chloroplasts but animals cells don’t.
• Procaryotik cells do not have any nucleus but eucaryotik cells do.
• Gills and fins allow a fish to breath and swim underwater.

LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH LANGUAGE
Cause and effect: • use because or since for cause• use so or as a result for effect
– Diversity helps animals survive because/since the environment is always changing.
– Viruses are not cells so/as a result they are not really living things.
– In winter, some trees loose their leaves … there is not much light for photosynthesis.
– Plants respire, … they combine sugar and oxygen in order to get energy. … they produce wastes.
16
LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH LANGUAGE
Predicting:• If …, (then) … will…
– If we put a plant in a dark place for a long time, then, it will die.
Hypothesizing:• Independent variable:
– Covered and uncovered leaves.
• Dependent variable:– Amount of starch.
“An uncovered leaf left in the light for some days, will not have the same amount of starch as a covered leaf”
